They banned my account because a guy requested bestiality RP. I blocked and reported him — they made it clear in messages to me that bestiality RP was not okay and I was correct for reporting him. They gave me back my account because I had supposedly handled it correctly and the ban was an error.I personally don’t have any strong opinions on knot stuff, but I would clarify before you engage. This just happened two weeks ago to me.
That's right - thank you for reminding me, and I am so glad you got your account back!! I would have to have confirmation from at least 3 people from the site before I even would have tried it. So, I am guessing that is not allowed....
I just wish they would be CONSISTENT with us! This is frustrating AF.

Im late (had a few pages back open in a tab) but I just wanted to say that if you're having problems with the Brio (or any Logitech) cam autofocusing after you've turned off the option, you can pop off the front face "glass"(its plastic) and it will help some. It really helped with my Brio but didnt completely stop it. I obviously wouldn't try this on a cam that you might want to resell/salvage (because it looks like crap) but it might be worth a shot if you have a brio to spare lol. Its stuck on with just sticky glue and will pop off with a blade and a shimmy, but its definitely crackable so just be patient.
I don't know /why/ it helped my brio, but its lowered the auto adjust features on it allot so my theory is maybe plastic was made too thick on some... and I just pop the faceplate back on when Im done camming to keep dust out.... I still get higher numbers live with the 930 but the brio records video nicely.
I have to leave it on my computer though because I was so excited to drop the money on it and told my husband "just watch its a game changer" and just cant muster the ego bust to say its a dud.
It's funny you mention this! I bought another Brio to have as a back up. The quality is slightly blurry and out of focus. I thought my eyes were going bad! I don't understand what happened except that I bought my original Brio early 2020 and I just bought the new Brio in early 2022. Did something change in manufacturing? They both have "Logitech" on the front not Logi... The one I like I bought from Best Buy. The one I got recently was from Amazon but shipped and sold by Amazon...

I read that Brio might hate my MacBook Pro. Going to try it out on windows tomorrow. Overall, I currently hate the Brio hahaha. I had to mess with all of the settings. I have three ring lights with soft boxes, so my Lightning is pretty nice— brío hates it. Over exposed.I will update if I find a fix.
After I initially replied about my new Brio from Amazon, this happened. I do use Logitech's "Camera Settings" to turn off auto focus and auto white balance. All I was doing was moving my hand up and down like the jerking off motion. My camera was going lighter/darker/lighter/darker. I just don't understand...

oh btw is "ebony" humiliating word? Just yesterday I thought why they call black girls "ebony", but don't call white girls "ivory" for example? I found "ebony" poetic, tbh, but I wonder how does it feel to native english speakers?
I don't think it's humiliating, but it annoys me when people refer to me as ebony. Idk why people can't just say black, it's not like any other races have a special porn-only word to be categorised by (that I'm aware of). Usually I let it slide but if I'm in a bad mood or they're fetishising too much I just tell them to say black lol

I'm never going to work Superbowl (even though it was after it ended).

Add to that I had the rudest guys, guys who always just sit in my room every time I'm on, and customers who came into my chat, but never even said hi.
So turned off on camming right now I could cry.

So during a show, a customer offered me money to meet up, and said he wanted my email address. I said nope, not allowed to do that, and then I thought I'd better stop the show and report him. Did I do the right thing? I hate to miss out on money, but I thought I remembered reading that if we don't report guys trying to get our personal info, we could get the boot from sm.

Regarding this, all they need to do is add it to the (very short) list of the things we can choose when we report them. At present none of the options even remotely covers this reason. While they are at it they can also add 'customer requested something against the rules'.

Yeah it would really be simple. When they come in the room it already says do not contact the models. That is warning enough for the majority who do not read the fine print on the T and C. Set this as a report option and have an auto ban set up for the customers who are persistent. Maybe if 5 models report in a week, or 10, whatever. The customer is obviously ignoring the rule that is there every time they enter a room.

This is auto exposure setting. We hate it, cause it always goes supper bright when we do a spanking scene and the pink on my ass doesn't want to show.
Logitech settings used to allow us to set exposure and gain ourselves, but they removed those options a couple of years ago.
Exposure can be adjusted in Logitech G hub, but gain is still auto - in low light that causes flickering image.
Open SM streaming page normally, then open OBS (won't be able to see your pic there, as cam is open in the browser) and open cam settings in OBS. You can tweak EVERYTHING!!! Best is to set gain to 0, exposure as highest that is not overlit, and slowly inch up gain.
Also if you have Brio: UPDATE FIRMWARE ASAP. The version we bought ours with was super buggy and caused significant frame drops. You just download the Firmware Update Tool from Logitech and proceed as directed.

That's interesting for sure, and I may have to clarify that with them for myself as it seems their responses to our questions are pretty inconsistent from model to model.
I have a long term regular (6+ years) that LOVES werewolf play (knot play) and it doesn't phase me - if anything it is kind of fun and different from the usual crap - however, I've been unable to do those types of shows with him on SM for fear of losing my account over it. This guy is a pretty decent spender and I've even had to shut down his trying to talk to me in "code" during free chat. I'm losing a lot of cash from him for this reason. He's a big tipper ($100-$500 tips) and this has been incredibly frustrating for both of us. Thank you for posting this, now I am not scared to ask about it.
They banned my account because a guy requested bestiality RP. I blocked and reported him — they made it clear in messages to me that bestiality RP was not okay and I was correct for reporting him. They gave me back my account because I had supposedly handled it correctly and the ban was an error.I personally don’t have any strong opinions on knot stuff, but I would clarify before you engage. This just happened two weeks ago to me.
WTF!!:mad: When they started to fuck everyone's ass with their strict rules, I decided to ask about it. Because hey, companies sell dragon and werewolf shaped dildos, right? So I messaged SM support and that's what they answered me. I messaged them twice. Here are my questions and their answers.

So I downloaded Logi Tune. It's just so odd because I set the cameras to the same in camera settings and Logi Tune. Yet the Brio from Amazon looks completely different. I use my stellar Brio for SM. However the cord must be getting old because if I move it, the picture will go black in SM. The camera won't be discoverable in SM connect. However the camera is still discoverable on my computer like in Skype or OBS. So I figured I should get a camera for a back up if it's already acting up. GAHHH! I can't win. Probably will just return it.

it is under the rules page.
https://streamatehelp.com/additional-roleplay-rules-and-clarifications/Which Other Roleplay Topics are Banned?In addition to incest between blood relatives, you should never depict the following during roleplay:
Underage sexual acts
Rape or non-consent
Weapon use
Drug use
Any act prohibited by local laws or the laws that apply to Streamate broadcasts
This list is not exhaustive, and Streamate will remove any acts that we deem inappropriate and which may put our models, members, or our platform at risk.
i feel like the show you described is too much to do bc it involves meeting someone. dear god. i never thought of this type of roleplay lol

These ever changing rules are getting insane now. I appreciate that meeting someone and giving out personal details is against the rules. But we CANNOT be responsible for what a customer says or types, how the hell can we? If a customer says something he shouldn't, knowingly or otherwise, then HE is at fault, not us. We are only at fault if we continue the conversation on a banned topic and don't block or report. Penalising us for something said by another person of their own free will is just beyond belief.

I love how race play is banned, and yet I get asked for it every day, multiple times a day. These rules need to be sent directly to the customers. They need to appear on the screen every time they sign on. The problem isn't the models, it's the cunty customers that keep pushing the rules/boundaries and try to get us in trouble. I literally put "no degrading race play" in my profile, and these fucks still ask anyway!
Another issue that I have with race play is that a lot of guys get off on the cuckold fetish, and talking about bbc. They want to feel weak and pathetic. They want me to put them down and degrade them. I don't personally like this, but I can't do Dom shows without some form of humiliation and degradation. And most of the time, it's a white man that wants to feel powerless under a black woman. Race is part of the fetish. SM needs to understand who their customers are, because these ever changing rules are making it hard to do business on their platform. I'm having to say no to basically anything that isn't vanilla and this industry isn't vanilla anymore. I don't want to participate in taboo play, ban ALL of it! But a lot of these fetishes aren't taboo, and yet they're being grouped together with the ones that are.
SM isn't being clear and consistent with these rules, and they're going to lose both models and customers because of it.

Here is what I don’t get we cant do raceplay, but as I put in my email to Liz the user can have the N word in their user name and thats ok. We can all thank today’s society for this. Im not racist but the guys just get off on it. I think if its 2 consenting adults it shouldn’t be that big of a deal. I get Streamate trying to protect their ass bit this is NOT a new fetish or roleplay. You said it perfect
